One more time

It's funny, you know. You start to do something, like a blog, and you're gung ho. Then life interferes, times change, and  the blog falls by the wayside.

I'm going to try again. I've got a reason. I'm taking part in an 18 month block of the month. Her quilt is totally  out of this world! It's called Love Entwined, a 1790 Marriage Coverlet. It's part applique and part piecing. Here's her blog: http://estheraliu.blogspot.com.au/. Go check it out. Here's a pic of the quilt. Isn't it fantastic?
Right now, I'm planning on making the whole thing from my stash.

Have a great weekend!

Monday, Monday

So...what do you think? Not bad, huh? Well, this is the view from my window this week. See, we have this timeshare thing that uses points instead of weeks so we have to use or lose.

Long story short, I'm in Newport RI. DH Mike's studying and I'm doing handwork. We're not painting the town red or any other color, but we're here.

I'm going to MQX next Thursday. It's a tradition-I have to go or my year feels empty. Normally, I go for the whole week; this year it's for one day. I'm going with a guild friend and I'm looking forward to a pleasant ride and a great day. Anyone else going?

This is profound!!

This is a pic of my Dear Jane and Quilted Diamonds 2 blocks. I had it in my mind that I wouldn't be able to make these quilts-too much work. Well, I've come to the realization that I've just got to reset my mind-having the IQ on my machine is a great opportunity for me to do hand work while it's quilting. This is no longer an impossibility for me.

You'd think that, at 58 years old, I'd be able to figure this out on my own. Heck no!!! I need those slaps up side of the head. :) So...onward and upward!
